Can anyone please guide me which kind of certifications are available for php and seo? I am a php developer as well as a Lecturer. And i want to teach and guide my students. I know symfony and wordpress. But other then this what kind of certification is in demand in current/future market. I am ready to learn new technology even.
No certifications are or should be needed. As for new tech, node.js is very used right now in the market. If you're a javascript developer and want to learn node.js, you will have a very easy time. Note that node.js is commonly used with nosql databases, such as mongodb, couchdb and quite a few more.
If you haven't tried those technologies, it might be a good time to start learning/using/mastering them. Also, I recommend you start using git if you haven't. You can do wonders with git.
If you work as a front-end developer once in a while, I extremely urge you to get right on Grunt.js, since Grunt is extremely useful for a numerous tasks in front end, and it can at some extent, be used for backend, including some php tasks.
NodeJS website: http://nodejs.org/
mongodb website: http://www.mongodb.org/
couchdb website: http://couchdb.apache.org/
git website: http://git-scm.com/
grunt website: http://gruntjs.com/
I think that's enough for you to get busy for a while. Hope it helps.
Personally I don't think any certification is needed, especially in the programming industry (even for lecturesr). It's more important to show that you have been involved with important projects. Working experience with bigger companies or open-source projects will prove your expertise.
With that being said, there is one from W3C:

I need tips and recommendations from experts regarding the development of a new website. I am a beginner to the web development field. I have grasped the basics of HTML/CSS/Javascript/PHP/MySQL however I want to start developing an advanced feature website and I am unsure of how to start. I'm guessing that professionals do not start coding from scratch and that there are certain libraries that could make life easier.
The elements of this website are :
-users can signup/login and edit profiles
-users can search website content
-users can exchange messages
What are the best languages, tools, programs, frameworks, libraries that should help me complete this project in a reasonable amount of time. I know this is a very broad topic but please recommend anything helpful so that I can start heading in the right direction.
Laravel is the new star of the web application development community. Fairly easy to use, great documentation, many many packages/modules/extensions. I personally had problems choosing between Laravel and Yii, but this chart helped me a lot:

Beside PHP Frameworks, there are tons of great resources out there (check out GitHub). Gotta love the 2010's.

The site that I am working on creates user sites like (domain.com/user). We want to show the users some web traffic statistics relevant to their own site, like how many views from facebook, twitter etc. Can you guys please recommend a solution which we can integrate into our PHP/MySQL based system? Or is it better to build one inside the system ourselves using mangoDB or something similar?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
For preference, unless you are using SSL, I would recommend implementing the sites as user.example.com/ rather than domain.com/user - it's much easier to configure your webserver to write seeprate log files / most off the shelf web analytics packages will split a log file from multiple vhosts into reports per vhost.
There's lots of tools available off the shelf - piwik, awstats, webalizer, analog
Google analytics is amazingly good value compared to most commercial offerings.
If you need to persist with your current naming schema, then consider using a too which relies on page tagging rather than log analysis.
Or is it better to build one inside the system ourselves using mangoDB or something similar?
I'd suggest that's very much a last resort - if you can't find what you need, then I'd recommend forking one of the open source packages.

Can anyone recommend a simple document management system with a decent web service interface?
I am looking at using it to provide metadata management of uploaded files from a ajax web application.
I've tried KnowledgeTree, but it's web service layer seems to be a bit complicated. Is there anything else out there with the similar features but a better integration backend?
DocMgr have just released a new version where they have a xml based web service API. I have not tried the new version yet, but the document management system is great (IMO way better that knowledge tree), and is worth a try.
One note is that it runs on PostgreSQL for speed, so this could be an issue if you are planing on running this at a web host, but I reccomend testing it out!
I'm sorry to hear that you found the KnowledgeTree web services interface complex. We'd love to hear more about what we could do to improve it. Feel free to drop us a mail on community |AT| KnowledgeTree | DOT | com
Have you taken a look at our latest documentation?
http://docs.knowledgetree.com/api/latest/
It covers the complete API and includes loads of examples to help get you started.

I have quite a few years experience of developing PHP web applications, and have recently started to delve into Python as well. Recently I've been interested in getting into desktop applications as well, but have absolutely no experience in that area. I've seen very little written about PHP-gtk and wonder whether it's really a good area to get stuck in to.
What I'm really looking for is something that will allow me to quite quickly develop some decent small/medium sized apps, and be able to deploy them in Linux and Windows. Something in Python or PHP would be great (but I'd be happy to learn something else if it has big advantages).
What do you guys recommend?
Thanks
Building applications in PHP with GTK is possible to create client-side cross-platform applications, but I don't necessarily think it's the optimal choice for GUI development...
Here are some links:

Python and Java are both excellent for working on both Linux and Windows environment. They are generally hassle-free as long as you're not doing any OS specific type of work. Python for creating desktop apps is fairly simple and easy to learn as well if you're coming from a PHP background, especially if you're used to doing object oriented PHP.
Why would you like to develop a desktop app in php??
Get yourself a descent programming environment (c/java/c#/) instead of abusing php
especially with c# and java you get pretty quick very nice results. And both are cross platform (although java is easier for cross platform stuff).
C(++) in combination with QT or GTK is also possible, but there the results appear slower
Well its too late to answer i guess but still for the sake of information may I suggest Open Application Platform (OAP) as a possible solution. OAP allows for PHP/MySQL applications to be distributed as installable Windows(tm) applications.
I stumbled upon it while I was looking for porting a PHP app to desktop and found this. Worked great for me. No extra tags for window creations like in winbinder etc.

I am thinking of starting a blog, which I would like integrated into my existing website. I come back empty handed from googling for a comparison of blogging software written in PHP.
My requirements:
Simple but not rudimentary (not a result of a 15 minute CodeIgniter tutorial)
Quality source code (I'd like to be able to learn from it and maybe change it)
Prefer PHP5 over PHP4
Work with MySQL
Easy to integrate into an existing website (I don't want it to be a separate application with a different look and feel under a "blog" directory
Run under safe_mode
Built-in or easy-to-add source code highlighting would be a plus.
Many programmers use Serendipity.
Wordpress' code base is really a mess. A bunch of functions operating on global variables.
I don't ask you to simply trust me, or anyone else. Go look yourself at the code!
And it's written in php4 style, so definitely not what the topic starter asked for.
Wordpress definitely... Great support, many plugins, many themes, etc.
why not try with wordpress ? I think really fit in all your points
Update:
if you still dont like wordpress I can recommend Mephisto which was wrote in ruby. I have tried it but for me was a pain in the ass. Simply wasn't intuitive for me as user.
Wordpress, no question.
You can always have the best with Wordpress + Host it on your own to utilize all of it's great features.
